European natural gas prices plunged 10% to €93/MWh, marking their steepest daily decline since April 8, as renewed hopes for US-Iran negotiations eased fears of Middle East energy supply disruptions.
The drop reversed part of last week's rally above €100/MWh, while German gas storage stood at just 61.03% and EU-wide reserves remained below 75%.
Further diplomatic progress could pressure European gas prices, but below-target storage and approaching colder weather could reignite supply concerns and trigger renewed volatility.

The upgrade replaces Flashblocks, requires applications to migrate to canonical block and RPC streams, and introduces millisecond-aware timestamp information while keeping existing seconds-based fields.
If activation proceeds as planned, the faster block cadence could improve transaction visibility and application responsiveness, although real-world benefits will depend on successful infrastructure and integration upgrades.

Gold's recovery could face renewed pressure if rate-hike concerns persist, despite the support from easing oil prices and geopolitical tensions.

Corn inspections reached 884,766 metric tons but remained below the 1.71 million tons recorded a year earlier; wheat inspections dropped to 75,413 tons, down from 351,392 tons a year earlier.
The contrasting figures could reinforce divergent sentiment in corn and wheat markets, while year-to-date corn inspections remain below last year's pace.

Indian equities surged on Monday, with the Sensex gaining 1.66% and the Nifty 50 rising 1.68%, driven primarily by a nearly 12% jump in Reliance Industries.
Reliance accounted for about 61% of the Sensex's gains, while foreign investors bought ₹3,115 crore of equities and Brent crude fell roughly $10 to $108 per barrel.
The rally could face difficulty sustaining momentum as analysts warn that broader markets lack a strong catalyst for a continued advance.

ICE certified stocks stood at 225,068 bags, still close to 27-year lows, despite edging higher, while improved Brazilian crop prospects and a weaker real remain countervailing pressures.
Continued stock tightness could support further gains in arabica coffee despite improving expectations for next year's supply.
Corn fell to 447.25 US cents per bushel, reaching its lowest level in 11 weeks.

The November 3 US midterm elections and expectations for Fed policy could drive further volatility in precious metals.

Anchorpoint plans to bring its Hong Kong dollar stablecoin HKDAP natively to Solana through a collaboration announced on October 30.

Tin prices fell below $49,000 per tonne to their lowest level since late April as technology stock weakness raised concerns about semiconductor demand and AI investment costs.
Supply is expected to gradually improve as Myanmar mining operations normalize and Indonesian regulatory and export constraints ease, while limited new mining projects constrain longer-term production growth.
Near-term demand concerns could keep tin prices under pressure, although strengthening semiconductor and electronics consumption in 2027–28 may support a longer-term recovery.
Global stocks rebounded on Monday as a sharp decline in oil prices and stronger-than-expected U.S. manufacturing data lifted investor sentiment following Friday's tech selloff.
The Nasdaq gained 1.2% and the S&P 500 rose 1%, while the U.S. manufacturing PMI climbed to 55.5 from 54.5, beating economists' expectations.
Improved risk appetite could support further equity gains, but growing uncertainty surrounding AI valuations, major earnings reports and central-bank decisions could keep volatility elevated.
U.S. manufacturing price pressures remain stubborn despite a slight October ISM prices-paid decline, keeping inflation concerns alive for the Federal Reserve.
Capital Economics says the index remains consistent with headline inflation near 4% around year-end, while falling oil prices have eased inflation fears and pushed 10-year UK gilt yields to a six-week low of 5.192%.

Brent fell 6.5% to $106.01 per barrel while WTI dropped 6.6% to $97.29, although Goldman Sachs maintained elevated forecasts citing persistent geopolitical risks and OPEC+ kept December production targets unchanged.

ICE canola futures edged lower Monday morning as falling crude oil prices weighed on the oilseed market amid reports of a potential diplomatic proposal to end the Middle East conflict.
The proposed agreement could involve the U.S. lifting sanctions and its blockade against Iran while reducing its military presence, with Chicago soyoil, European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil also turning negative.
Further progress toward a diplomatic resolution could keep pressure on crude oil and related vegetable oil markets, potentially weighing on canola futures.
Bitcoin enters US midterm election week under pressure as institutional investors pull funds from spot ETFs, traders build bearish positions and uncertainty grows around crypto regulation.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $643.2 million in outflows on October 30, while the week ended with roughly $202 million in net withdrawals; a $201 million leveraged Bitcoin short also highlights bearish positioning.
Election outcomes could influence the future of the proposed CLARITY Act, while continued ETF outflows could pressure Bitcoin toward the $74,800 on-chain cost-basis level.
Gold and silver suffered a sharp October sell-off, with MCX gold futures falling around 7% and silver plunging nearly 20% ahead of Dhanteras and Diwali.
Both metals rebounded on November 2, with gold gaining up to 0.42% and silver rising as much as 2%, although analysts say the broader trend remains weak.
Further interest-rate concerns could pressure precious metals, while lower prices may attract long-term buyers through staggered accumulation rather than large lump-sum purchases.
US utilities are launching a major expansion of electricity transmission infrastructure as rising power demand, driven substantially by data centers, fuels grid investment and intensifies battles over land use.
Transmission spending by investor-owned utilities and transmission companies is expected to reach $43.7 billion this year, up about 10% from last year's estimate, while Dominion reports annual demand growth of roughly 5.5% in Virginia and North Carolina.
Accelerating data-center construction and broader electricity demand could drive further grid investment, but property disputes and legal challenges may slow infrastructure expansion.
Binance has recorded $4.7 billion in withdrawals following a $6.4 billion crypto heist attributed to North Korean hackers, raising concerns about exchange confidence.
Withdrawals increased from $3.6 billion on Sunday, although Binance says outflows represent less than 3% of its $166 billion in assets and deposits are steadily increasing.
Continued withdrawals could intensify concerns about exchange security and investor confidence, while sustained deposit growth could help stabilize sentiment across crypto markets.

Progress toward Middle East peace could further ease oil prices and inflation pressures, potentially supporting a continued decline in longer-dated Treasury yields.
WTI crude has fallen below $100 a barrel, dropping 6.5% to $97.32 as hopes for a peaceful resolution to the Iran conflict ease concerns over supply disruptions.
Brent fell 6.3% to $106.30, while renewed Iran-US diplomacy and Qatar-mediated talks helped unwind last week's oil price surge.
Further progress toward a peace agreement could pressure crude prices, although continued attacks and the loss of nearly 1 billion barrels from global inventories leave significant upside risks.

Objections to the planned OKX–ICE tokenized stock marketplace have grown to 50 companies, with 43 of the 62 issuers initially selected now having objected to their shares being traded on the platform.
Nvidia, Costco, Nike and Micron are among the latest objectors, while the proposed venue would allow around-the-clock trading of digital versions of U.S. stocks using stablecoins.
The growing resistance could complicate the marketplace's rollout, although the objections do not necessarily indicate opposition to stock tokenization itself.
